two main sides to this question, do you believe in fortune tellers and the effects of knowing your future...
No, i think 99.99999% of these people are frauds, the miniscule percentage are questionable.
So far as the outcome of this logic conundrum, if you could see the future, could you then see all the possible repercussions of each individual choice and action? If you say yes, then that would involve more looking and less acting, so likelihood of failing to act is high, hence incorrect reading of the future. Also, if you were able to and did, far less often, you may miss other effects of the choices that others made in reaction to your own choices. What a mind bender eh?

fake The innovations are nicely familiar, they are referred to as 'chilly examining', 'Barnum Statements' and Hit counting. chilly examining makes use of a mixture of physique-language and questions disguised as statements - human beings do no longer understand only how lots suggestions they are giving freely. Barnum statements are statements that sound as though they are very particular, yet in reality are wide-unfold and ought to be utilized to loads of situations. Hit counting shall we the teller play a game of 'twenty questions', following up any lead that gets a mind-blowing reaction from the sitter, and could count number on the sitter forgetting each and all of the incorrect guesses and in basic terms counting those that looked as though it may make effectual or connection. I as quickly as gave one in each and every of those examining to a team of my scholars, and maximum pronounced it grew to become into uncanny, and utilized to them very precisely. yet I had in reality given all of them precisely a similar examining!
